Many of us in Africa will remember him in particular for the pioneering work that he did, especially with respect to regional cooperation.
He was, as we have heard, very instrumental in the resuscitation of the East African Community, along with President Museveni and others. He was also very instrumental in COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa) and even IGAD (Intergovernmental Authority on Development). These are the precursors of the African Continental Free Trade Area arrangements that we are making today and to which almost every African country has subscribed to and it will define the future of trade and relations in Africa.
We thank God for such a great life. We thank God for all that he was able to do for Kenya and also for Africa.
